GEORGETOWN, Aug. 15.-Harvest-
ing is about completed, and the
thresher and the plow are now oc-
cupying the farmers attention.
Notwithstanding the condition Of
the ground people seem to want to
get ready to sow their wheat
The prospects for the farmers are
a little gloomy as there is no cattle
demand and if they sell at all it will
be at a reduced price.
The fact that customers from be
yond Smithtcwn are coming here to
mill shows that the drowth is giving
persons inconvenience in various
ways.
We scarcely remember time
when there was less building or re
pairing being done. The NJ. +. par
sonage near Oak Grove is about the
only building being erected and even
repairs are limited.
The 5. S. Convention at Arnetts-
vile was not largely attended at first
but fine audience turned ON Friday
night to hear Prof, Wiley who gave
them very excellent address. The
Professor is conservative and candid
in his treatment of the temperance
question and does not follow the ex-
IRENE channel of many lecturers.
On Saturday the attendance was
large and the program was carried
ont by the parade, speeches &c.
The address of Prof. Macy Nj. Wa
tiers is very highly spoken of by
those who had the pleasure of hear
ing him.
Yesterday the meeting here was
well attended though the arrange
ment did not seem to be very widely
known.
On the 25 of August it is said the
Tabernacle services will be begun
at Oak Grove and will be continued
some days.
Quite an interesting suit was tried
before Squire Arnett last Saturday
involving the ownership Of some

A number of our teachers will at

ready for their winter work.
There is some sickness in the vi

Institute with a twenty minutes
speech, teeming with good practical
advice as to the object of the teacher
and the position of the pupil. He
said that in order to make s. success
you must inspire your pupils with a
love of study, and when you go into
your school go there with purpose
to do and complete sometbing-to
make men and women of your pu-
pills.
Mr.. b. NJ. Jones then introduced
the subject Of Spelling. and talked
very forcibly, favoring both oral and
written methods, use of books, rules
and their application. When this
subject had been thoroughly ex
hausted Reading" was taken up
and discussed by Instructor Waters.
He spoke of the advantages of differ
ent methods of reading, and how to
use the black board and chart and
exemplified his method by recitation

cupied the rest of the morning.
At the afternoon session Mr.. A. 5.
Barker read paper on Language
Lessons"-outlining his policy of
teaching them. He displayed a
great deal of preparation and
thought in clear, concise manner.
The object of language lessons, to
speak and write easily and correctly,
acquisition of words to express new
ideas, and the cultivation of purely
literary taste, were discussed at
some length by Rev DR., White, Mr..
Stoneking, Mr.. W. J. Eddy, the in
structor and others.
Grammar was introduced by Dir.
White, who emphatically expressed
the object of grammar and methods
perused. Astounding in many anus

abundance of familiar puns from the
members.
President Turner delivered very
entertaining and instructive lecture

Wont Sell His Furnace.

A short time ago it was stated
that that the Irondale furnace had
shut down and would be idle for an
indefinite period. 1t seems that
this is mistake. The Kingwood
journal says: at is stated on
pretty good authority, that Mr.. Mem
eygei was offered 100000 for the
Irondale furnace property, by Pitts
burg capitalists, which offer was re-
fused, and $4,000 named as the
lowest figures at which it would be
sold. We are informed, also, that
no demands have been made by the
Knights of Laber since the raise in
wages made last March. There
was, however, some misunderstood
ing between the pit boss and. the
men in the ore mines; and since the
shutdown about thirteen men have
been ordered out of the houses.
There would have been a shut down
this fall for repairs. 1t came earlier
than it would, perhaps, owing to the
fact that the ore in the old mines
was exhausted and could not furnish
stock to keep the furnace in blast
That it is the intention to resume
work early in the future, is evidenced
by the facts, that repairing is going
right on, and that the new ore drift
is being worked day and night, and
pushed ahead as rapidly as pos
sible.n

Farmers Union.

In pursuance of the call of the
chairman, quite a respectable num-
Der of the farmers of Monongalia
county met in the court house on
Saturday, August Is, to perfect a
permanent organization.
Chairman Haldeman, in calling
the meeting to order, stated that its
object was to consider a constitution
and bylaws, which had been prepar-
ed by committee appointed for
that purpose at a former meeting.
Before proceeding to the regular
business the chairman, in a few re-
marks, showed the necessity of the
farmers helping themselves, that
unless they sought to aid themselves
they might be sure that they would
not receive assistance from any other
source. He said that there must
be earnestness, without which their
efforts would be unsuccessful.
Mr.. Henry L. Cox, who had draft
ed the constitution, was then re-
quested to read it to the convention.
Upon rising to comply, Mr.. Cox said
that this action of the farmers was
an effort to better their condition.
That all those engaged in other in
dustries had their unions and it was
expedient for the farmers to have
theirs also. By few practical ex-
amples he showed the advantages
that would accrue to the farmers
from meeting together and having
an interchange of ideas upon the
modes of farming.
The constitution was then read
and adopted as offered by the COM
mittee.
Col. Jos. Snider followed with a
short address showing that in union
there is strength. He enumerated
some of the many advantages aris-
ing from united action.
After the signing of the constitu-
ton the chairman announced that
the convention would proceed to the
election of officers, which resulted as
| follows:
President, L. A. Haldeman; Vice
President, S. G. Stewart; Secretary
G. W. Laishley; Treasurer, Ross E
Reed; Marshal, Taylor Hess. Di
rectors-E. j.. Evans, Col. Jos. Sni
der and III. L. Cox.
Col. Snider was selected to read {
paper at the next meeting on The
Improvement of Cattle, and G. w
/ Laishley paper on Sheep.
The convention then adjourned tt
meet on the second Tuesday in DC
tober.

COUNTY INSTITUTE.
The Largest Ever Held.--Great Inter-
est Manifested i'm the Teach
ers' Work.

The annual Institute of Monon-
gala county was opened promptly
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by
singing Bringing in the Sheaves.
The song was certainly true
illustration of the teachers, who
having sown the seed OF knowledge
and wisdom in their pupils, and by
their earnestness and jealous atten-
ton have nourished and watched it
step by step until at last they are
reaping the harvest of their lahors,
BY preparing themselves for a still
richer and better crop next year.
Monongalia county is noted all
over our State for her educational
institutions and advantages and the
great interest manifested in them.
Itis regarded not only here at home
but throughout the whole surround
ing country as the educational cen
ter of West Virginia. Hers was the
culmination of that higher idea of
education which we have seen grad
ually develop from the common
school into that institution-grand
and famous in her youth-known
far and wide to. day as the West
Virginia University, from whose
halls have gone out men of mark,
meeting few equals and no superors
in their various callings. Then let
the teachers Of our county take a
position among the worlds workers,
commensurate with these and Meas
ure not the work until the day is
DONE
Nature in her dispensation was
not forgetful of the future of our
county when she implanted all the
beauty and sublimity she affords in
order to promote our educational
advantages, and certainly we, as her
sons and daughters, should improve
our opportunities.
The attendance at the opening of
the institute clearly indicates that
the teachers have fully arisen to the
dignity of their position, and by
their earnest efforts manifested in
debate they seem to appreciate the
fact that they are not merely assem-
bled together because the statute so
directs, but that they may meet for
the purpose of an Interchange of
views and forming new ideas which
they may impart to the youth of the
county, and so serve as valuable in
struments in the enlightenment and
advancement of the last quarter of
the nineteenth century.
After the devotional exercises the
instructor, Prof. Macy M. Waters,
addressed the Institute, explaining
the object of it and indicating the
character of the work to be done.
He clearly outlined the duty of the
teachers, both to themselves and
their pupils, claiming that teaching
was truly profession, just as much
so as the law and medicine.
The Institute was then perma
nently organized by Superintendent
Glasscoek, appointing Miss Belle
Fleming and Mr.. j. b. Kennedy sec
retaries. He also appointed d. L.
Jamison to report the proceedings
of the Institute for the Post and
John A. Crawford for the New Do
MINION.
The teachers then proceeded to
enroll. The enrolment is liz and
greatly exceeds that of any previous
year. Following is a list Of those
present:

New Summer Resort.

A gentleman of this place. inform
ed the NEW DOMINION yesterday that
he would build a nice hotel at the
wonderful white sulphur spring
above Hagedorn's mill and have it
opened next spring. 1t will be
large enough to accommodate fifty
guests. The spring is a wonder and
the water is pronounced superior to
that taken from the famous springs
in the southern portion of this State
and Virginia. There is no reason
why that point should not become a
